While it’s important to preserve your sound and signal when you’re recording, the reality of the matter is that so many of history’s greatest records were colored by the gear used to make them. In fact, preamplifiers are a common place for artists and recording engineers to deliberately route their signal to induce a bit of edge. To put it another way: the line between clean and sanitized is thinner than you might think. Fortunately, this simple solution to sonic supplementation isn’t limited to the big studios - even with just a USB audio interface and a preamp, you can immediately elevate your tracks. Resident gear guru Mitch Gallagher, armed with a Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen interface and a Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIV preamp, is here to show you how it’s done. Check it out!

I got so much hate for using a preamp with a focusrite on my Instagram, thanks for the backup man

@alpa3710 3 месяца назад

People on insta only know how to hate it seems...

@BradsGonnaPlay 3 месяца назад

People who hate Focusrite usually don’t know that the company was founded by Rupert Neve. People who hate the Scarlett series usually just hate it because everybody uses it. Since Gen 2, the Focusrite Scarlett series has been a great contender in the budget friendly world of AD/DA conversion and transparent preamps.

@jeremythornton433 Год назад

My input interface is a Presonus StudioLive 32SC mixer. I thought about a Scarlet and yes they do sound good but I need a LOT of inputs. I don;t want to be patching and re-patching for all of my keyboards , microphones, etc. I want to be able to fire up my DAW after I've powered up my mixer and keys, and record. I have a low end tube pre-amp running through an ART VLA II compressor going into channels 1 and 2 of my mixer. Got some character there. There rest is just fun stuff!

@dodgingrain3695 Год назад

lol, clear and accurate is not the same as adding grit or warmth, but this can be done pretty easily in software too.

@austinmurphy8981 10 месяцев назад

@alpenglow4243 11 месяцев назад

The Scarlett 4i4 Gen 4 has two line inputs that bypass the pre amps. The Solo and 2i2 do not.

@kon9274 11 месяцев назад

Hallo, who i can find this infoformation?

@Wizardofgosz 11 месяцев назад

Every time I've used a Scarlett and went into the line-inputs, when you turned the preamp gain knob, it added gain. Why would that happen if it wasn't going through the mic pre also?

@jemmymonepa1975 7 месяцев назад

wow.. the same combination i'm using now.. but I'm using earlier versions of both..😁

@obgatson1275 4 месяца назад

Hi,mich how are you and the rest,at sweetwater,was the focus rite supposed to arrive with a flashdrive?

@eweesplace Год назад

I'll note that pushing preamps gives much more harmonic information and shape the overall waveform significantly. This stacks as the recording comes together. Things like bass, vox, acoustic guitar, overheads, etc are often more saturated than you'd think, but by no means crazy nasty most of the time

@RudeCanine 8 месяцев назад

What concerns me is audible white noise. Running a dynamic this hot and pushing it down adds saturation, but how much added noise seeps through? One of the many reasons I can’t stand the sm7b, alongside the muddiness.

@joshuasarabjit 7 месяцев назад

Does the preamp’s XLR out need to be converted to 1/4” in order to connect to line in on the interface?

@Blueguitar007 5 месяцев назад

I think so but not certain. The mic plugs are usually mic level on Scarlett as opposed to the 1/4 which can be line or instrument.

@rodneyhanssen2641 18 дней назад

Voice so deep not even a filter can change his bass 😂

@shubhshinde4438 10 месяцев назад

can you please suggest me a cheap alternative of the hardware manley vox box? and can I increase the output of preamp so that I can increase my headphone volume of my headphone without sounding distortion?

@howir0n1c2 Год назад

would it be possible to feed the line level output of one interface (such as the scarlett) into the preamp of another interface, and just have very low input gain? I want to try to combine preamp characteristics like this, but I don't know if the extra voltage would cause a problem on a microphone input.

@edwardreverseproductions 5 месяцев назад

i mean, analog effect sims can get the same effect with undo-ability right?

@kon9274 11 месяцев назад

Have the Solo and the 2i2 4 gen the Same line in Baypass Funktion ?

does this preamp will work with m4 motu> Please tell me

@IstyManame Месяц назад

if all those "warmer" "punchier" and "brighter" are frequency changes why can't just analog eq be used?

@AthensTheOfficial 29 дней назад

He says you can attain the same effects with EQs at about 4:08. I think hardware really just saves your CPU. Less Plug-ins needed and there's less to process with a cleaner audio signal.

@Noone-of-your-Business Год назад

Why not just use a tube or tape emulation plugin? There are plenty of _free_ good ones out there, so why spend money on something you can get free of charge? Also, this gives you more freedom to decide _after_ recording how much saturation you want on any given track. Baking in the coloration on recording limits your options in the mix.
